Universal has another animated movie in Piece by Piece in October while August is essentially a dump month. The only kid-friendly option in November is Red One but that will skew older. November 1st would be your best option for The Wild Robot. The start of the holiday season and you can take advant...

The Movie Critic has been officially shelved, which is probably for the best as Tarantino had decided to rework it into a Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood spinoff and put the main character of The Movie Critic in the background, morphing the original concept into an entirely different film. In other ...

Well, I think I already figured out the twist, making it another movie I don't need to see as the trailer showed everything. Edit: I was reading the Reddit thread on this and they came up with an even dumber twist: the daughter is the killer . Meanwhile, Shyamalan himself is saying there is no twist...

The first entry of the Spider-Mondays series, a reissue of the 2002 Spider-Man, did pretty well. It wouldn't surprise me if Sony eventually did a wide reissue of this one. Spider-Man 2 gets a one-night only reissue this Monday, followed by the third Tobey Maguire entry, both Andrew Garfield movies, ...

It's a weird theatre in general. It's in a smaller town and they'll book every religious movie possible, even ones you've never heard of. It's owned by B&B, which tends to be one of the more politically conservative chains. But interestingly, Civil War is still running at other B&B locations. I real...

Any locations pulling Civil War after one week? A theatre near me is pulling it after Thursday and replacing it with Love Lies Bleeding after having it on three screens this week.

Either the numbers were really bad at that location or something happened related to a showing that led to this move.

Arcadian 3/10 The latest masturbatory material for doomsday preppers and terminally online people might be the most cliche movie so far this year. Nothing about this one is original, with elements lifted from other dystopian movies as two teenagers in the Irish countryside (standing in for the US) f...

The date for The Fire Inside seems to have been chosen so MGM can promote it during the Olympics. But why not have the movie lead into the Olympics and open on July 12th? Fly Me to the Moon, which already has trailers out, could move up to It Ends with Us's old date, which would leave only Longlegs ...

That makes five wide releases on August 9th. I have to imagine something moves up (either Borderlands or The Fire Inside, both of which have been complete for two years).

I have to wonder who decided to release Arcadian on the same day as another well-reviewed dystopian film with no marketing whatsoever. Even the biggest Nicolas Cage fan wouldn't have known this came out on Friday.

Joker: Folie a Deux is set to be getting around 75 70mm prints worldwide. Yes, the first one had a 70mm run but I'm surprised by the number of prints for this one.

In other news, Alien will return to theatres on April 26th.

I was surprised to find out the Beach Boys documentary isn't going to be a Get Back-sized miniseries. You could easily have six hours of material for one, maybe more.

Documentaries on The Beach Boys (co-directed by the director of the Stallone documentary) and Jim Henson (directed by Ron Howard) will appear on Disney+ next month. Looks like Disney wants that Best Documentary Feature Oscar next year.

Cinemascore:

Civil War: B- (still not the greatest score but it looks like it has defenders outside of the A24 crowd)

It looks like Young Woman and the Sea will be a quick dump before hitting Disney+. The newly-released poster only mentions "select theatres", suggesting a release of only a few hundred theatres.

Daisy Ridley might be one of the most unlucky actors right now.
